Snoop Dogg has responded to fans criticizing his decision to perform at Donald Trump’s ‘Crypto Ball.’
On Friday, the rapper headlined the pro-Trump, pre-inauguration event in Washington, D.C., which attracted a mix of celebrities and politicians, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The ‘Crypto Ball’ was organized to celebrate Trump’s support for cryptocurrency and his pledge to integrate bitcoin and other digital assets into the country’s financial systems.
Social media users accused the rapper of hypocrisy, referencing his past opposition to Republican Trump.
In 2017, Snoop made headlines for a controversial music video in which he targeted a Trump-like clown character.
Unbothered by the criticism, Snoop Dogg wasted no time responding. Just hours after fans aired their grievances, he re-posted an Instagram story from fellow performer Rick Ross.
‘Got a real Crip up in the Crypto Ball, bang bang,’ Snoop added in the video.
The unphased rapper showed he had no time for the haters as he flashed a peace sign and smiled for the camera while wearing sunglasses at the event.

Users on social media were ruthless in the comment sections.
‘2pac always was right about snoop dogg, he always playing both sides for a check and some clout smh,’ said one user.
‘I have deleted all Snoop dogg songs from my playlists.. i have blocked him from my accounts. I will not listen to his music after i found out that he will be there to perform for the traitors on Monday,’ said another.
‘Even Snoop Dogg bent knee to Donald Trump. Never thought I’d see that. His crip walks will never be the same,’ chimed a third.
The event also featured a performance by Soulja Boy and Nelly, who joined Snoop and Rick Ross on the lineup.
Conservative internet personality Bo Loudin backed the West Coast Icon, posting a picture beside him on Snoop donning a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.
‘President Trump is unifying the country and will bring us into the GOLDEN AGE! Welcome to MAGA, Snoop!’ Loudin captioned his a post on X.
In another video captured by reporter Jessica Reed Kraus, Snoop was jamming to Bob Marley’s song ‘Three Little Birds’ as he sang the lyrics ‘don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right.’

Despite the uproar, Snoop’s involvement reflects a broader shift, as he joins a growing list of public figures who have seemingly softened their stance toward the President-elect, who will be officially sworn in on Monday.
Throughout the evening, red ‘Make Bitcoin Great Again’ hats were distributed to attendees, while Snoop DJed and performed some of his most iconic hits.
Tickets for the exclusive, four-hour event ranged from $2,500 to $5,000, giving crypto enthusiasts the chance to network with key policymakers who may shape the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S.
